Mauzy Monday (The Fables) tabs, video

On a less than perfect day, with the fog upon the bay,
Is a vision that makes my morning bright;
As she moves across the water to her home inside the harbour,
I forget about lonely city nights.
Though afternoons are sunny in this city full of money,
Workin' six days to get a break on Sunday,
I was born to walk the rocks on mauzy Monday.

Mauzy Monday... when the sky is grey,
Mauzy Monday... home around the bay;
Mauzy Monday... when the sky is grey,
I'd give a month of Sundays to hide the sun away.

On a less than perfect day, with the fog upon the bay,
By the blue salty water lay it down;
Give up the chase, by the shore I rest my case,
As she moves along the shoals inside the harbour.
More beautiful and rare, it may be found somewhere,
But I doubt I'd even think about it, even just for one day,
Oooo... mauzy Monday.

Mauzy Monday... when the sky is grey,
Mauzy Monday... home around the bay;
Mauzy Monday... when the sky is grey,
I'd give a month of Sundays to hide the sun away.

Mauzy Monday... when the sky is grey,
Mauzy Monday... home around the bay;
Mauzy Monday... when the sky is grey,
I'd give a month of Sundays to hide the sun away.
Hide the sun away, hide the sun away,
Oh, oh, oh, hide the sun away.

The video above features an excellent cover recording by David Fitzpatrick with vocals and photography by Neil Simmons.

From the Dictionary Of Newfoundland English:Mauzy - of the weather, damp, foggy, misty or close, sometimes with very light rain or condensation on objects and a cool, gentle wind off the sea.
